Grant Description: The purpose of CCLI is to provide high-quality training and technical assistance on death penalty issues to attorneys and judges who litigate death penalty cases. The goals of this initiative are to: 1) increase the number of capital litigation attorneys trained in capital case procedures and strategies; and 2) ensure that defense counsel, prosecutors, and judges have the most up-to-date and comprehensive information available to aid them in death penalty litigation. BJA is seeking applications from state-based agencies and organizations that serve defense counsel, prosecutors, or judges to deliver the newly developed training. CCLI grants will serve as seed money to help create opportunities for states to begin the initiative with federal money and sustain it with state funding. Priority will be given to states that currently enforce their death penalty statutes.
